SPRING SUPPORT FOFIVELOCIPEDES OR THE LIKE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 764,415, dated July 5, 1904.

Application filed July 28, 1903. Serial No. 167,304. (No modul.)

To [1J/Z whom it may concern:

cycle-rider; and it comprises the adaption both to the saddle-post and to the handle-bar--that is to say, to those parts serving to support the body and members of the rider.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention, Figure-l shows `in section the saddle-post in its position of rest. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the saddle-post carrying the weight of the rider. Fig. 3 is an under side view of the saddle-post and its guide-tube. Fig; 4 is a section on line A B of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is an under side View of the tube itself, and

Fig. 6 shows the application to a handle-bar.

A tube a, carrying at the lower end a screw- Y threaded sleeve b and at the upper end a iange c, on which is secured a thick india-rubber I'Ing or washer d, receives in the Interior the saddle-post e, having Its lower end reduced to 'a circular, rectangular, triangular, or any the lower part f of this pillar or post. i The spring g, which is intended to take up the shocks,is maintained in the interior ofthe tube c between the sleeve and the offset of the post, a cross-pin la, limiting the upward motion.

The india-rubber ring or washer Z deadens the shock resulting from a violent jerk in the exceptional case that the saddle post would be lowered to the end of its stroke and butt against the upper extremity ofthe tube. A thin copper washer if: can be interposed between the lower part of the tube and the pin t, which abuts against the said washer. A similar arrangement is adopted for the post of the handle-bar '25, sliding' in the tube l7', which is arranged in the same manner as the tube a.

I claim- Spring supports for saddle-posts of velocipedes, handle -bars and the like, comprising a guiding-tube for the post, provided with a rubber ring Z at the top end and with a sleeve bat the lower end, having a perforation of the same cross-section as the lower offset end of the post, a spring being interposed between the sleeve and the offset substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
